Turksinfoil is a side project of an NYC electronic pop act called The Ones

Here's a blurb from the WOW Blog: The first single, featuring David LaChapelle muse and pop icon Amanda Lepore, takes a stab at covering Cult Hero’s 1979 song I Dig You, which ironically was also a side project by members of The Cure and Robert Smith’s sisters. “It’s one of my favorite songs of all time, says Americo. I got together with Ted Ottaviano from Book of Love and did our version. The name Turksinfoil is a name I made up one day and thought it would be a fun name for a new music project.” (Thanks Hector and Antti)

The song was apparently also in the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie game in 2007." (Thanks? Joshua)

Towards the end of the show the singer "Julien Dore" was accompanied by the flamboyant upbeat flamenco band "The Gipsy Kings" (Bamboleo, Shopi Shopa) to play a quite funny version of The Cure's "Boy's Don't Cry" with lots of nice Spanish solo phrasings on guitar and also Spanish lyrics too in the middle !! What a nice Surprise !! (Thanks LeChienNoir and Eric)

04/28/11 - From Chart Attack: "Toronto singer/songwriter Lou Canon's self-titled debut album is coming out May 10 digitally and physically July 12, and it features this cover of The Cure's "Close To Me."

While the original is a classic and is beyond comparison to any cover, you've got to admit that Canon's version works. Robert Smith's whispered vocals just make sense when they're sung by a woman, and when you consider that Hayden produced her record, there's very little not to love here.

Canon makes a living as a teacher. Hopefully a music teacher." (Thanks David)

"Last week french band So Was The Sun invited me on stage to play a cover of The Cure's One Hundred Years. Even if the audience recording is pretty ugly, I think this is a good thing to share because only a very few people try to cover this song. We barely did a rehearsal for it then listen to the song in a car before the show. Despite starting to sing the line of the previous song after the first verse, the (drunk) young crowd responded to it very well, a few of them even came after the show to tell me that this was their favorite song of all time and that i definitely had the sound (but I was playing my Porl's schecter, not my UltraCure ;)…
You can listen to So Was The Sun debut EP here, and learn more about the band here. (Thanks Pilal)
